ADJ USTABLE-LENGTH TIE.

Application filed March 26, 1927. Serial No. 178,522.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a necktie consisting of two inter.- conne'cted neck band sections including provision for sliding one section within theother 1 stance and is of sufiiclent res1hency to clamp and locking the same whereby the length of the tie may be varied. v

A further object of my invention is to provide an adjustable necktie consisting of two sections of the same or different lengths, the ends of said sections being interconnected and fastened together in any desired adjustable position by means of a clip or any other suitable fastening means such as a buckle for instance. r i

To enable others skilled in the art to more fully comprehend and understand the underlying features of my invention that the same may be embodied in'the various modifications c-onten'iplated, reference is had to the accompanying drawings showing a preferred form of my invention, in whic.

Fig. 1 is a view showing a conventional type of necktie embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a view showing an open loop formed at one end of one of the sections.

Fig. 3 is a view showing a pocket formed in the end of the opposite section and ta ten on the line 3-3 of Fig. 5.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing the open loop formed in one end of one of the sections.

Fig. 5 is a side view of the end of one of the sections.

Fig. 6 is a sectional View showing the interconnected ends of the tie sections.

Fig. 7 is a View of a fastening clip for retaining the connected sections when assembled.

Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views 5 designates the wings and 6 the neck band portions of two sections of atie either of the bow or four-in-hand type. One end of the neck band section 6 is equipped with an open end loop 7. The opposite end of, the complementary band 6 is equipped with an open pocket 8, formed by folding back and stitching. the extremity of the neckband section 6 to the portion 9. The pocket 8 is adapted to receive the end of a lead pencil or other instrument whereby the end of the ment therein whereby it may be ins-.-

band may be projected into the loop 7 to any desired distance preliminary to fastening the ends of the tie together as shown by Fig. 6.

The preferred fastening means shown and employed consists of an inverted U-shaped clip 10 which is bent downwardly and upwardly as at 11 terminating in the eyes 12.

The clip is preferably made of wire such as employed in making paper fasteners for intions which constitutes the most efficient as well as the most simple manner of sliding one end of the band within the complementary opposite end preliminary to securing the clip thereon. I prefer to use 'a clip such as shown in Fig. 7 because the thickness of the wire is not suliicient to prevent the adjusting of the connected sections of the tie nor does it interfere with the turn-over type of collar.

WVhile I have shown and described my invention with some degree of particularity I realize that various changes in the details of various constructions may be made. I further do not desire to be limited and restricted to the exact details but reserve the right to make suchchanges as may fairly fall within the scope of the subject matter now being claimed.

Having shown and described my invention ble sections, one of said sections having an open loop at one end and the corresponding end of the second section being overlapped on itself and provided with an open pocket adapted to receive the cnd of a po' fed instrui'ted wit-h saidinstrument within the open loop of the lirstanentioned section for adjustment relative thereto and. a separable, outside fastening element for connecting the two interconnected sections when adjusted.

In testimony whereof I afiix iny'signature.

MAX SCHAGHTER.
